THE CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents conclusions which were drawn from the data, and
based on the conclusions, recommendation are given to either practitioners or
further researchers.
5.1 The Conclusion
Based on the data from reading comprehension posttest scores of control
group and experimental group and from the questionnaires given to experimental
group some conclusions can be drawn, as follows:
Regarding the first research question: does the use of interactive read
aloud give better impact on students’ reading comprehension achievement
compared with three phase technique. The data showed that there was a
significant difference between the posttest scores of students in experimental
group, who were given treatment with the interactive read aloud technique and
posttest scores of students in control group who were give a treatment with the
tree phases technique. Thus, the interactive read aloud technique was shown to be
affective in improving students’ reading ability.
Concerning the second research question: What are the students’ responses
towards the implementation of learning reading through interactive read aloud?
The data from questionnaire given to the experimental group shows students’ give

Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of interactive read aloud
technique can develop students’ reading ability. However, this does not mean that
the interactive read aloud technique is the best technique in teaching reading.
Another better technique for other researchers is probable to explore.
5.2 Recommendation
As the research findings show that the implementation of interactive read
aloud in reading instruction can increase students’ reading ability, some
recommendation are put forward:
First, for the teacher, it is better if the teachers in teaching reading not only
use the interactive read aloud but also they can use more various techniques in
teaching readings as well.
The researcher also suggests that other researchers to conduct further
studies in the field of reading using interactive read aloud technique to search or
uncover other advantages and disadvantages of the technique. The researcher
hopes that other studies will be conducted covering larger sample, more time to
